cablespaghetti.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Kennt hier jemand etwas ähnlich "Industrie-taugliches" wie ein Revolution Pi?
Aber zu einem Consumer-freundlichen Preis?
Hintergrund ist, dass ein Kunde von mir gerne ein Raspi in einem Mietshaus installieren würde. Für Automatisierung / SmartHome / Lademanagement etc.
Er lebt selbst nicht darin und hat keine Lust, alle paar Wochen ein gecrashtes Pi auszutauschen oder SD-Karten zu rotieren.
Das Ding wird installiert und muss dann einfach einige Jahre ohne viel Liebe durchlaufen.
Mit anderen Worten: Einfach stabil sein. SW wird natürlich aktualisiert, aber auf HW-Faxen haben er und ich keine Lust.
Gibt's da einen Tipp? :)
Finally got around to finishing this post:
"Serving a Website on a Raspberry Pi Zero Running Entirely in RAM"
Coming back to this: yes, it's the Raspberry Pi Imager. For some reason it has stopped writing the user groups and sudoers info to the `user-data` file in `system-boot`, for any version of Ubuntu. It definitely USED to work, as I used it to provision all my Pis. #RaspberryPi #Linux #Ubuntu
What?? This is a freshly installed version of 26.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4 using the Raspberry Pi Imager. Has anyone else encountered this?
Have I bought junk? Every video I see on crimping JST connectors says to use the 1.4mm and 1.9mm crimp positions. The crimper that came with my set of JST bits has 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5mm. I’m having a hell of a time making connections and I think this might be why.
First image is from a how to video. Second is my actual crimper. I think they bundled the wrong crimper. Or labeled it badly.
Ever since I got some new #Inverter and #Batteries for my #SolarPanels, I’ve been looking for a way to process the data they produce. To be sure, the manufacturer has a nice #WebApp but I wanted something I could tinker with. Therefore, a while ago, I bought a #HomeAssistantGreen, which is basically a #RaspberryPi #SBC which is pre-loaded with #HAOS and so is a functioning #HomeAssistant instance.
Thinking of building a wireless bridge to replace one that has to be reset at least once per day. I could use a #RaspberryPi Zero W with USB wired Ethernet or a B+ with USB WiFi.
Testing out a fun experiment of running a variation of my existing website locally.
What's cool about it?
- Served off a Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3
- Running entirely in RAM (thanks Alpine!)
- Web server -> darkhttpd
- Has a tiny ~$4/year VPS in front of it handling the TLS termination
I'm sure things will explode if too many visitors slammed the poor little Pi, but I think regular traffic would be completely fine ;)

PS. sorry if it falls over!
Raspberry Pi prices rise again, along with a new 3GB Raspberry Pi 4 announced https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/raspberry-pi-prices-rise-again-along-with-a-new-3gb-raspberry-pi-4-announced/
💡 Turn a Raspberry Pi into your own NAS with FreeBSD!
Building a simple NAS doesn’t require expensive hardware.
In our latest blog post, we walk through how to build a lightweight Network Attached Storage (NAS) system using FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi. With the latest FreeBSD release and tools like Samba, you can quickly set up reliable network file sharing on minimal hardware.

In our latest video, we walk through how to install and run FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi and turn it into a lightweight Network Attached Storage (NAS) system.
If you’ve been curious about running FreeBSD on single-board computers or building your own NAS, this is a great place to start.
Watch it on our YouTube channel and let us know what you’d build with it: https://youtu.be/xqFiTRYo1fk
"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

So, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
